microprocessors use various levels of cache memory to perform the cache memory functions. According to the Network Dictionary L1 Cache is a primary that is built into the CPU. This memory stores copies of the data that has been most frequently used in the main memory locations. L2 cache is a secondary cache location that is separate from the CPU and L1 cache. This secondary cache stores a subset of the contents of the main memory. Most recently L3

water cooling all for $129.99. For my CPU I went with an AMD Phenom II X4 Black Edition 980 I like AMD CPU’s more than Intel because AMD CPU’s are more for the gaming side. It is a socket AM3 Quad-Core 3.7Ghz with 64-bit support. And it also has 6MB of L3 cache and 4x512KB of L2 cache. The cost is $170.00. The motherboard I used for the build is an Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA USB 3.0 ATX AMD Gaming Motherboard. It is compatible with my phenom CPU it has a very fast boot speed. It has

Internet Explorer, locate information on the Intel H55 Chipset. What processors is it used with? What is its purpose on the motherboard? The Intel H55 Chipset includes the FDI (Flexible Display Interface) which enables direct connection between the CPU and the graphics core. This allows the display information to be sent back to the H55 chipset for output. The graphics core inside the Clarkdale processor is known as GMA HD. Its difference from the G45 GMA X4500HD is in the number of Unified shaders

Bus Speed: It’s the base clock speed of the motherboard; also known motherboard clock speed is generated by a quartz oscillating crystal soldered in it. h. External Clock Speed: This is the speed of the front side bus (FSB) which connects the CPU to the memory controller HUB (Northbridge) on the motherboard. 4. Hyperthreating (HT Technology): It’s a technology developed by Intel for processing two executions threads within a single processor. 5. Processor Throttling: By slowing down

Starting off, there are two major players in the CPU industry, Intel and their rival AMD. Something you should know about a CPU is that it has a system bus which carries info into, and out of the CPU. When the system bus enters the CPU it is usually referred to as the Frontside bus, the frontside bus is normally equipped with a 64bit wide data path. In the CPU you have a controller including one or more ALU’s and the internal cache. * ALU – Arithmetic Logic Unit *responsible for performing complex

We will take a brief in depth tour of the CPU, memory, processing, registers, bus and data moving to the bus. I will touch on these concepts and processes throughout the paper in hopes to clearly detail out how each works and their importance. CPU The first thing we will discuss is the function of the CPU (Central Processing Unit) and its components. There are three primary components that make up the CPU, these are the ALU or the arithmetic/logic unit, the control unit (CU) and memory. The two
